The FBI said it had processed a white conversion van owned by Hodgkinson, which was parked at the YMCA adjacent to where the shooting happened.

This level of hostility is stunning. "But there could be some unity being brought to our country", Trump said.

Bernie Sanders, who lost the Democratic nomination for president to Hillary Clinton past year, said on the Senate floor that he had just found out that the suspect had volunteered for his campaign.

A spokesman for the Justice Department said the department is considering a possible statute to target "ideologically motivated crimes of violence" from radical groups or individuals inside the country.

All three Congressmen on the shooter's hit list belong to the House Freedom Caucus, which is comprised of the House of Representative's most conservative members.

Matthews agreed with Hodgkinson that the "inequality issue" is "great to fight for if you're a progressive", but not by killing people. Two Capitol Police officers sustained relatively minor injuries. In 1994, according to Pew, 21 percent of Republicans, and 17 percent of Democrats, rated the other party as "very unfavorable".

"Were in town because we're tourists and I mean I heard about the shooting and I was like, 'Wow, it would be cool to come today to show support for the congressmen, '" said Otis Amick of Phoenix. His Facebook page shows that he was a fan of Vermont Sen.

The GOP lawmakers' team was taking batting practice when gunshots rang out and chaos erupted.

"He was in the outfield", Williams said about Barth during a news conference on Wednesday.

"I'm sorry that he did this, but there's nothing I can do about it", she said.

The gunman was also shot by the police in retaliatory fire.

Lawmakers took cover in the dugout.

Back in IL at least one friend of Hodgkinson - who didn't give his full name - defended him, saying, "I just want to let people know he wasn't evil, that he was exhausted of some of the politics going on".

Rep. Jeff Duncan of SC said he had just left the practice and encountered the apparent gunman in the parking lot before the shooting. The attacker, who was shot by Scalise's security detail and later died, was an IL man whose social media postings showed anger at Trump and the Republicans. The man thanked him. Also wounded was former congressional aide Matt Mika, who now works for Tyson Foods in its Washington office.

As for Scalise, he's still in critical condition, but he's improving.

Bailey is a Capitol Police special agent who is part of the congressional security detail.

The first congressional baseball game was organized Rep. John Tener of Pennsylvania in 1909 where the Democrats prevailed 26-16.
